Ella Kate's Kindergarten Graduation + Cook Out

Our baby girls Graduation program from Kindergarten.  It makes me cry just thinking about it.

 Getting ready for their performance

 Love this precious girl

 Sweet Livie Lou

 Singing their little hearts out.  All of the songs were a "surprise"

 This one really got to me.  They sang "I'm proud to be an American and each row stood up one at a time."  Talk about tear jerker.  Was glad to be sitting by Garrett who was crying too.

Love that she looked out and smiled.  She was so proud.

Getting her certificate.

So proud of you Ella Kate.

 Admiring her certificate.

It's offiicial

 Sweetest Girls.  First Grade here they come.

 The Hunter family.

 Dave and I with our graduate.

 LeLe and Ella Kate.  Hope Ella Kate knows how lucky she and all of us are to have LeLe.  LeLe is always there to support and cheer her own - not to mention pick her up from school, take her to swim team practice, and have her dressed and ready for Kindergarten graduation and at the school on time before Dave and I even got home from work.  Ohhh and she had John with her that whole time too.  Thank you LeLe.

 Dallas Cowboy cheerleader.

These three are perfectly different and are very best friends.  They make me happy.  And I am pretty sure John is convinced he is related to the Hunters and Moseleys.  HaHa

 Who is going to be in First Grade Next Year?

We love you baby girl!

John can hang with the big kids already and thinks he is a Burruss Beaver too :)  Can't even think about my baby boy being in Kindergarten yet.  Time slow down.

Saturday Lake Day + Mothers Day

We are really excited that Papa's boat has it's own slip at Allatoona this year.  We have already put it to use :)  Last Saturday we spent the morning cruising around the lake.  We all love being on a boat.  Fun way to start the weekend.  Can't wait for some tubing and water skiing as the water gets warmer.

 Happy campers.

 Sally in heaven.  The kids loved watching the dogs swim next to the boat.

 Our first kids.

 Sally and JoJo 2014.  Love this picture.

 Jojo got a bath on the boat dock.  It was hilarious.

 Teaching John early that you have to give the boat a scrub down after use.  He liked it and honestly the kids were big helpers.

Mothers Day 2014

 My gifts I woke up to on Mothers Day Morning :)  I think they bought everything the Dollar Store offered and I LOVED it.  My favorite was the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" deodarent.

 Ready for church on Mothers Day.  I love my babies.

 My greatest gift!

 Dave cooked a spread for dinner.  It was delicious.  Love you Dave.

 Our Mothers Day entertainment.

Lightning McQueen has always been John's first love but it is slowly starting to turn to Batman!  He begs for me to tell Batman stories about him and his BFF's in his class (Cole, George, and Jack).  Love those rowdy boys.

Burruss Fun Day

AL Burruss Fun Day 2014.  Ella Kate has had the best year of Kindergarten at Burruss.  We love ALB and I had as much fun as the kids at Fun Day.

Ella Kate and her buddy Olivia.

Ella Kate, Ms. Leigh, and Rebecca.  Ms. Leigh is Ella Kate's teacher, Mrs. Borkowski's daughter who attends UGA.  Mrs. Leigh is studying to be a teacher like her mom and comes to school to help anytime she can.  The girls adore her and she is so great with them.  She will be a wonderful teacher and has been a great role model for them this year!

Love these girls.

My Livie Lou.

Mrs. Wilkinson :) Ohhh how we love Mrs. Wilkinson too.  She was their student teacher this year and is AWESOME!

My girls!

Ella Kate and her buddy Jackson!

My baby girl is almost done with Kindergarten!  So proud of you Ella Kate.  You are so smart, such a hard worker, but most importantly you are so kind to your friends and others.  You have made your Dad and I so very proud!

Uhh Ohhh :)

Sweet Friends..

Ribbons make great bunny ears.

Ella Kate's Kindergarten Teachers!!!  I could not have dreamed of better teachers or a better first year of big school!  These ladies are wonderful.  They loved her, pushed her, and made learning so fun!  When Ella Kate started Kindergarten she could only read a few words and now she is reading non picture chapter books with ease and asking Dave and I to help her practice multiplication!  What??  Thank you Ladies!

There go my babies...

Purple Snow Cone.

They were jumping up and saying "Cheers"

Some of my favorite boys - Zeke and Sam.

These kids hang on every word Mrs. Wilkinson and Ms. Leigh say.  They adore them.

Sweet Ms. Leigh they followed her everywhere.

 Mrs. Laura and Ms. Rebecca.  Ella Kate and I love and adore you and your families.  Will always be thankful for the CEE for introducing us.  If ever 2 families just clicked we do.

 The girl was on fire.

 Ella Kate rockin the hula hoop.

 Our AWESOME principal, Mrs. King.  I so look up to this lady and love how she is always popping in and working with the kids.

 Mrs. King giving Olivia some hula hooping tips.

 Big hugs as I was walking down the hallway.

 Thank You Nana for the Elsa lunch box.  Ella Kate loves it and requested I take her picture by it.

 John looks forward to Friday carpool because usually the Hunters or Moseley's come over for a little while to play.  David and Joseph treat John like one of their buds and John loves it!
